Big Brother Eviction Nights Won't Be 'Mean' This Year

The show will be all the better for it.

The new Big Brother hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best have said that the tone of the reboot is going to be a little different.

The reboot is set to kick off this Sunday, October 8th at 9pm on Virgin Media One, five years after it was last on-air.

AJ explained that they "feel a responsibility" about minding the housemates mental health.

"They may come out to a baying audience on eviction night, but I think it’s up to me and Will to put our arm round them and give them an opportunity to share their side of the story," AJ said.

But that won't stop the hosts from asking the big questions. AJ confirmed that while they'll be mindful to not "be mean," they'll still "want the housemates to spill the tea."

Will agreed about the change, saying, "It’s been a long time since the show was on. The world has changed and move forward."

But will the booing continue? Will said, "I don’t think we’ll be telling the audience not to boo, but are people going to want to boo in 2023? It feels like the world has changed a bit.”
